I wonder, is this where the fascination begins???

On our last mini-voyage, during the half term holidays, there were moments, just a few, when a kind of calm prevailed. I only came close to capturing it on camera in this image. And it got me thinking, is it the quiet, reflective moments like the one captured here, when a fascination begins, be it for waterway & boats, or trains, or art, or music, whatever it is that’ll engage and enthral our kids in the future?

We’ve just dropped through Cropredy Lock, Joe’s looks like he’s just soaking up the moment, content, quiet, complete.
